Описание: Doctrines Series: Lesson 3
Topic: Human Depravity
Scripture Focus: Genesis 3:1-7; Romans 3:10-18; Ephesians 2:1-3


Description:
In this sobering yet hope-filled lesson, Chris Pope examines the biblical doctrine of human depravity—the reality that sin has corrupted every part of our nature. Beginning with humanity’s first rebellion in Genesis 3:1-7, Chris traces the consequences of the Fall and how it left us spiritually dead, morally broken, and unable to save ourselves. Yet this difficult truth makes God’s grace shine even brighter. Understanding our depravity deepens our worship, fuels our gratitude, and underscores our desperate need for a Savior.


Key Doctrinal Themes:
1. The Origin of Depravity (Genesis 3:1-7)
Deception and Disobedience – How doubt, pride, and rebellion entered human history.Broken Relationship – Immediate shame, hiding, and separation from God.
2. The Extent of Depravity (Romans 3:10-18)
“None is righteous, no, not one” – Universal sinfulness.“No one seeks for God” – Natural human inclination away from God.
3. The State of Depravity (Ephesians 2:1-3)
“Dead in trespasses and sins” – Spiritual lifelessness without Christ.“By nature children of wrath” – Our natural standing under judgment.
4. Hope in the Gospel
Depravity magnifies grace – The worse we understand our condition, the more amazing salvation becomes.


Key Verse:
“Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.” (Romans 5:12)



Reflection Question:
How does understanding the Fall in Genesis 3 change the way you view human nature and your daily dependence on God’s grace?
